End of the road

It’s funny how people’s perception of a Halloween costume will depend on the reference to what you are dressed as, how obscure that reference is, and whether or not an observer has any idea of what you are trying to be.

For a time in the ‘90s I liked to dress as movie characters. When I dressed as Captain Quint from Jaws, only people about my age got it. Younger people just thought I was an old homeless guy. When I dressed as The Dude from Big Lebowski, almost everyone got it.

I decided to just stick with Lebowski. Any time I can walk around my neighborhood in a bathrobe and sandals, I’m a happy man.

Did you have a shark consuming your lower half up to torso? That might have helped.
